Child Ran in Front of Gar Coming Into Town on Dundas Street East --Taken to Belleville Hospital (From Trenton Sun) A serious motor accident occured on Wednesday evening on Dundas Street East when little Betty, the five year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Couch was knocked down and suffered a broken artery near the left ear and a fracture at the base of the skull, the injuries being so serious that the child's life was at first despaired of. The car, a Chrysler coupe, 'was driven by Mr. James McDonald of Colborne, who was accompanied by his father, Magistrate Joseph E. McDonald, also of Colborne. According to information received, it appears that the little girl, in re^ sponse to a call from her elder sister Marjorie, ran directly in front of the car, which was travelling at an ordinary rate of speed. The driver applied his four-wheel brakes and stopped in the length of his car, but was unable to avoid hitting the little girl. Police and doctors were soon on the scene and the child was rushed to the Belleville Hospital, where her injuries were attended to by Dr. J. A. Faulkner of Belleville and Drs. F. J. and John Farley of Trenton. The latest report is that the child's condition was greatly improvel yesterday and hopes for her recovery are now entertained. No blame is attached to the driver of the car, who, with his father, greatly upset over the accident.

SAD DEATH OF WM, H. BUTTON Crushed Between Heavy Tractor and iSeparator of Threshing Outfit, Near Baltimore His many friends and acquaintances throughout the county, where he was well and favorably known, were deeply saddened on learning of the death of Mr. William H. Button of Colborne, on Thursday evening, Sept. 15th, 1927, caused by being crushed between runaway tractor and the separator of a threshing outfit, near Baltimore. 'Mr. Button was engineer on a tractor engaged in hauling a threshing outfit to the farm of Wm. Mann, about three miles east of Baltimore. Approaching the farm, the outfit was being drawn up a steep grade when mechanical trouble arose and it was found necessary to back the tractor down grade a short distance in order that an adjustment might be made to the tqw chain and cable, precaution being taken to place a heavy block of wood behind the wheels, The weight of the huge machine, combined with the momentum gained in backing the short distance down grade caused the wheels to jump the block, the jerk throwing Button from his seat to the ground beyond the tractor, and he was pinned between the tractor and the rear of the separator. When extracted Mr. Button was dead; his head, chest and limbs badly crushed. An inquest was opened on Friday morning and adjourned until Sept. 22nd, The funeral services were held at his late residence, Toronto Street, Colborne, on Sunday afternoon, by the Rev. S. C.
